4. Julio V.
“This is our second time using Julio, and he has been a great find. The first time we used Julio he had to administer medicine to our cat that was not doing well. He also had to care for our second cat who was fine and tended to our dog. Julio handled it all like a champ. He is very personable and great at what he does. Thank you Julio! We will be using your services again my friend!”
5. Athanasia M.
“Athanasia is an amazing find! I am a first time Rover user and was very nervous. Athanasia put both me and my dog Presley at ease at the meet and greet. We booked her and she dropped in on Presley three days on a row -- doing a great job! She is an excellent communicator and coaxed great smiles from him in home and outside on their walks. Athanasia clearly loves dogs and cares for her Rover pets well. I highly recommend Athanasia and will use her again and again!!”

9. Briahna A.
About: Hi, my name is Briahna! I grew up in a family that has always loved animals so I have always been around them and loved caring for them. At the moment I have two cats (a russian blue and a rescue i’m unsure the breed of) and a small dog (pomeranian terrier mix). I have previously also owned fish (beta and goldfish), a siamese cat, other dogs (chihuahua dachshund mix and a teacup poodle), and a bunny. I have pet sit a variety of different dogs (outside of Rover), ranging in breed, size, and age. Some of the most recent include a golden retriever, a husky, a pug, a beagle, and a golden doodle. I am currently nannying for two families so my schedule fluctuates quite a bit but I will ensure that my calendar remains up to date with my availability. I am not currently offering services in my home but I am available to do dog walking, drop in visits, or house sitting. I will be sure to follow any specific instructions and routine you provide. The more information about your pet you are able to provide, the better prepared I can be to care for your fur babies!
10. Veronica M.
About: Im just a girl that loves dog’s . I’m a dedicated dog lover who works from home, and your pup will be a welcome companion during the day. I provide plenty of walks, regular potty breaks, and lots of attention to ensure your furry friend feels happy and cared for. My day starts early at 5 AM, and after work, we enjoy evening walks to the park. I live in a gated community with ample safe space for walking, and weekends are often spent running errands or relaxing. Your dog will have the freedom to roam throughout the day, but if I need to step out briefly for errands on weekends, they may need to be crated for a short time. Rest assured, I’ll make their comfort and well-being my top priority. Im up by 5am work from home , evenings we walk to the park. I live in a gated community plenty of room to walk around. weekends we just run errands They will be free through out the day if we go run a quick errand they might need to be crated but thats usually weekends
11. Alexandria K.
“Allie watched our two Great Danes, Baxter and Anais (both four years old), for three weeks and she was fantastic handling them with love and patience. My wife was worried at first because they can drag a grown man like myself down the street if they wanted, but Allie handled herself beyond our expectations. She sent videos and pictures of them playing in our yard and that made us feel very at ease while we were away. Thank you my ma’am we highly recommend her fantastic services!!”
12. Kassandra M.
“Kassie was great with our cat Helo! She was very communicative and sent us lots of cute photos. We could tell our cat was well cared for while we were gone. I would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her!”
13. Caroline S.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep love for animals and my hands-on experience caring for them. I've spent years volunteering at shelters and rescues, getting to know different breeds and their unique personalities. Whether it’s walking, grooming, or training, I’ve done it all. My background in the veterinary industry means I’m skilled in giving injections, administering medications, and understanding animal behavior. This combination of experience and passion means your pets will be cared for like family, ensuring they're happy, healthy, and well-loved while you're away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. Since I work nights, I'm available to care for pets in the mornings, ensuring they get their morning walks, meals, and attention. I also make sure they have their afternoon enrichment or exercise. Additionally, I can provide overnight stays, offering comfort and care throughout the night, and I'm available for late evening check-ins after my shift. This flexible schedule allows me to be there for your pets when they need me most. I want to ensure your beloved companion feels safe and calm while you're away. My goal is to provide daily enrichment and fun activities, along with a clean and relaxing environment. Your pet will enjoy their time, staying happy and content until their favorite human returns!
14. Celine R.
“I know Celine as “Blaze”, but she is a natural with cats! My cat, Kit Kat, can be pretty shy or elusive while warming up to new people, but she liked Blaze pretty quickly! Blaze was wonderful with keeping me updated while I was away, and very respectful of my home.”
15. Delani C.
About: I have taken care of family members dogs and have experience working with puppies and senior dogs. I can match the energy of any dog! I’m currently not working so will have time to watch and play with your pup! I am available almost everyday as I am a student.

Knowing her has allowed me more flexibility in my work schedule and personal life. She's been available every time I've requested her. Very sweet and professional.”
18. Lourdes T.

19. Angelica G.
About: I've taken care of dogs for over 20 years for my friends and family. I owned two dogs myself for about 15 years. I've walked, bathed, fed and groomed. They always seem to love my huge back yard, I always find them running around freely with so much joy! I work from home and schedule is very flexible. I am my own boss and have a huge backyard for dogs to play in. I love dogs, they bring so much joy to my life. I have a large fenced back yard. Plenty of sun and shade as well to give them variety. I currently don't own any dogs so there will be plenty of space for them.
20. Ramona L.
About: Sometimes, when we allow someone else to watch our pup- they seem to forget everything we’ve taught them. Don’t let what you’ve taught your pup go out the window! I know that consistency is key and will keep up the training you’ve already enforced (AND give your pup it’s daily exercise)! I’ve successfully raised and trained two Belgian Malinois, who’ve helped me fall in love with working with dogs. I currently own a Lab/Retreiver and trained him as well. I know what it’s like to get complimented on a pup’s good behavior and so should you! I’m very active and would love to take your pup out regularly or last minute- even! Whether it’s walking, running, or training.. as long as the dogs are in- I’m in!
